ah, you think because they mention the gps system using the
corrections that were detected by the mgx experiment that there must
be an aether... but you are wrong, the gps system uses the
acceleration corrections predicted by special relativity that were
verified by the mgx experiment... there is no aether involved, it is
the acceleration caused by the rotating earth that causes the effect.
but of course you won't believe that and will insist that it is
because of aether dragging, but that would cause many other effects
that are NOT observed... in order for a theory to be right it must do
2 things, it must predict something that can be observed, and it must
not fail ANY test that would disprove it. all the aether theories
have failed at least one test over the years and are therefore
incorrect.

What does the rotating earth accelerate? Light, RF? The speed of light
is fixed within its' media, the ether, the only way to accelerate EM is
to accelerate the ether itself ...

The exact same arguments you state can be used as an argument for the
ether as well as SR ...
